Description
In this haunting, lyrical novel told from three perspectives, Sarel has just witnessed the violent murder of her parents. But she is not completely alone on the drought-ridden land. Nandi knows they are all in trouble, and she knows, too, that a boy is coming-an escaped prisoner with the water song inside him. A hard-hitting, but ultimately hopeful survival story.
